<div class="pre">San Francisco (52-70) at Florida (56-66) 7:05 pm EDT</div>

MIAMI (Ticker) -- Rick VandenHurk gave up career home run No. 754to Barry Bonds on July 27. He will try to keep Bonds fromgetting to 760 when the Florida Marlins host the San FranciscoGiants on Saturday.


The Giants took the series opener on Friday behind a rare strongouting from lefthander Barry Zito, who allowed just one hit inseven scoreless innings in a 3-0 victory.


Since Bonds homered off the young Dutchman in the first inningon July 28, VandenHurk (3-3, 7.46 ERA) is 0-1 with a 9.72 ERA infour starts. The 22-year-old righthander walked Bonds in histwo subsequent at-bats, leaving after allowing six runs andeight hits in five innings. However, he did not factor in thedecision of a 12-10 loss.


Starting for San Francisco will be the 22-year-old Matt Cain(4-13, 3.77). The hard-throwing righthander has been ahard-luck pitcher all season, as the Giants are averaging just1.69 runs per game during his losses.


Cain allowed three runs and six hits in seven innings during hislone career start against the Marlins on July 28, but did notfactor in the decision of a 4-3 win.


Florida has lost three in a row and four of its last five games.San Francisco has won two in a row after dropping seven of itsprevious eight.
